School Visits

I love to visit elementary schools to read How Many Jelly Beans?. Illustrator Yancey Labat and I usually visit together. We have two different programs available, one for early elementary and one for upper elementary, or we can do a hybrid version for a whole-school assembly. Please contact us to make arrangements.

Teachers: We also have printable activity sheets for How Many Jelly Beans? available here (or email us). If there is anything we can do to support your use of Jelly Beans in the classroom, please write!
